Same generation

The Xiaomi Type-C Earphones is 2 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. The platform is level; the newer hardware shows up in convenience features instead - the Xiaomi Type-C Earphones adds USB-C.
